SMART Board Basics & tricks - Session By: Brad G.

For a quick access to the files, while on a school computer, open the R drive:

Find the My Computer or Computer, open it
There you will see the H-drive (your personal storage drive) and the R-drive (the high school shared folder), open it
- In the R-drive you will see the Exam-View Learning Series, the Clicker's software, and the SMART Board training files.
- Beware, any teacher has access to modify, contribute, and delete the material, so watch what you save over!
In the SMART Board folder, there is a file called "OPEN THIS FIRST" that will describe what should be installed and so forth.

Useful Info:

SMART Technologies website: http://smarttech.com/
- This contains details about the products and software as well as training resources.
The current version of the SMART Board software is SMART Notebook 11 Service Pack 1 (installer available on the R: drive)
- You will need this installed to interact fully with all the features of the SMART Board.
SMART Exchange website: http://exchange.smarttech.com (online repository of other teacher's smart lessons)
- This is a great place to steal ideas or to ease into designing your own interactive lessons.

Lastly, I encourage you to practice with the software and search YouTube for demo.
I am more than happy to field any questions, offer training, or try to help you take the SMART Board to the next level.
